Default Back up camera

Whenever I put the car in reverse the camera is not full screen anymore. Now it is a split screen with the camera in reverse and the navigation. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? Thank you!

I have a 2018 model.

Two ideas for this, while in Reverse and seeing the 2/3 screen with the backup camera, use the controller to tap on that side of the display.

Second idea is to check in your Settings and find "Auto Screen Change". Turn it Off. Intended to return the main screen to the Map after
viewing the radio or fuel mileage screens but I like the display to stay on what I was watching. It may be forcing the Map onto your screen.

@LeKills - My 2018 GS450h when in Reverse gear displays the backup camera view on the left-hand side of the NAV screen and the compass and current longitude and latitude coordinates on the right-hand side of the NAV screen. This is exactly how it should be. It's perfect!

If the driver ever needs roadside assistance from Lexus, law enforcement, wrecker service, etc., by putting the car in Reverse gear it will provide to the driver with the car's exact coordinates so the car can be precisely located. Perfect! I would not want to give-up this information to achieve a full screen view from the backup camera...



Even though I have location coordinates on my smartphone I may not be able to find it quickly at the same time while trying to make a phone call for help.

I have the Lexus Enform app (image below) for remote-starting, door/window status (locked/unlocked) status, car health, recalls/ bulletins, ability to make Lexus service appointments, etc.

But most important to me is if I ever need assistance (due to wreck, battery/engine problem, flat tire, medical help, etc.) from the Lexus Enform SOS system - my car will provide the 24/7/365 live response center agent with my car's exact location coordinates so help can be summoned quickly. I gladly pay an insignificant $8.66 per month for this service...
